Another short post that I'm not sure the other blog readers would be interested in. When I went to Smyth's, I found all the Harry Potter books. But what caught my attention, beyond a general yay-Harry-Potter, was the covers. They're very different from the U.S. covers and the pictures I've seen of the UK covers (admittedly I've never seen pictures of the Irish covers).
This is what they looked like:
 |
| Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone |
 |
| Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire |
 |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban <3 |
 |
| Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix |
 |
| Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows |
So not quite in order, but still, I thought it was interesting how comparatively plain they are. Much simpler and less brightly colored. I wonder why they did it this way? Why are these completely different pictures on a plain background? Why is the Harry Potter part of each title in gold instead of in the colors associated with each book in the US? I don't have answers for any of these questions, but just seeing them made me happy and so here they are. : D
